It compliments the Bedford Town SFRA completed by WSP in 2006, and should be read in conjunction with this document. An SFRA is required under Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk, to facilitate sustainable planning and development on a regional scale. In producing this document, consultation with a number of parties has taken place. The key consultees utilised in the completion of this Level 1 SFRA have been the Environment Agency, Anglian Water, Bedford Borough Council and the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards (IDB). The data collected during this Level 1 SFRA has resulted in a high level of understanding of flood risk within the Bedford Borough. The main source of flood risk within the Bedford Borough is fluvial flooding from the River Gt. Ouse, which runs from west to east across the centre of the Bedford Borough. There are also areas of flood risk within the north of the Bedford Borough from the River Til, Riseley Brook and Pertenhall Brook, all of which are main rivers maintained by the Environment Agency. To the south-east of Bedford Borough lie many watercourses maintained by the IDB, all of which have the potential to cause fluvial flood risk. Some locations within the Bedford Borough are also at risk from surface water and foul water flooding. There is no evidence of groundwater flooding or flooding from the many balancing ponds that are located within the Bedford Borough, however the IDB and the Environment Agency have identified potential areas at risk from groundwater flooding which will be further investigated in the Level 2 SFRA. There are no British Waterway owned canals within the Bedford Borough; however there are plans to develop a canalised section of waterway between Milton Keynes and Bedford. These proposals will be assessed in more detail during the Level 2 SFRA. Bedford Borough Council has already allocated a series of development sites within the Borough. These sites have been subject to site specific FRAs and have been committed to development. This Level 1 SFRA does not focus on already allocated sites, and further information on these sites can be found in the site specific FRAs that have been completed for them. This Level 1 SFRA, has highlighted the areas that are at risk of flooding within Bedford Borough. The ‘Key Service Centres’ that Bedford Borough have identified for future development, have also been assessed in terms of flood risk. In the development of this Level 1 SFRA, a series of assumptions have been developed. These assumptions were developed in conjunction with Bedford Borough Council, the Environment Agency and the Bedford Group of Drainage Boards and are listed below: • all areas at risk of flooding are undefended; • the Functional Floodplain has been classed as any area lying within Flood Zone 3; and • the climate change outline is taken to be the same as the current Flood Zone 2 outline. The outcome of this Level 1 SFRA has enabled a series of recommendations to be developed, which upon approval of this Level 1 SFRA will form a detailed proposal and methodology for the Level 2 SFRA. 5061078/Bedford SFRA v1.4 - Level 1.doc 5 Bedford Borough Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Page left intentionally blank 5061078/Bedford SFRA v1.4 - Level 1.doc 6 Bedford Borough Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 1. Introduction 1.1 Need for a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Planning Policy Statement 25 Development and Flood Risk (Refs. 1, 2) outlines the principles by which the government seeks to reduce the risk of flooding to new developments. This is achieved through a variety of tools, primarily based on the site specific Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) for proposed developments. To facilitate catchment-wide development, larger scale FRAs are required. These are in the form of Regional Flood Risk Assessments (RFRAs) and Strategic Flood Risk Assessments (SFRAs). An SFRA provides the information necessary to perform the Sequential Test for a region.

Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Authority information Centre Hood Chics NRA Class Mo National Rivers Authority Anglian Region ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 099626 INTRODUCTION Catchment management planning aims to create a consistent framework within which all the N R A ’s functions and responsibilities can be applied in a co­ ordinated manner within a particular catchment area. During this planning process, the current state of the water environment and associated land is systematically analysed and compared with appropriate standards. Where these standards are not being met or are likely to be affected in the future, the shortfalls, together with options for action to resolve them, are presented as issues in a table at the end of this brochure. YOUR VIEWS Formulation of this plan involves consulting and working with many public bodies and individuals. Your views on the issues identified are welcomed. You may also wish to comment on other matters affecting the water environment in the catchment area which you think should be examined by the NRA. Please write with your comments to the following address, from which a full copy of the consultation report may also be obtained: Bedford Ouse (Lower Reaches) Catchment Management Plan, Area Manager, National Rivers Authority, Central Area, Bromholme Lane, Brampton, Huntingdon PE18 8NE.
